Who Should I Start? Khalil Shakir or Matthew Golden

Saturday, November 15, 12:41 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old has been a steady contributor in Buffalo all year, recording 45 catches for 457 yards and three touchdowns on 58 targets across nine games. Entering Week 11, Shakir has recorded at least seven targets and six catches in three straight contests. He could see an even further increase in target share against Tampa Bay due to the absence of Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). The Buccaneers defense has been a bottom-10 unit this season in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Shakir doesn't carry explosive upside, but he should provide a very stable floor, given the combination of his opponent and his upside for targets. In Week 11, Shakir profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable following three consecutive limited practices. The 22-year-old is returning from a one-week absence. Through eight games this year, he has just 23 catches for 262 yards, and he's still looking for his first career touchdown. The first-round pick has not yet lived up to expectations, ranking as the overall WR72 in PPR leagues so far. He can be benched or dropped in most redraft leagues.
